and the TIMER light will flash quickly for about one
minute. When the TIMER light stops flashing, you may
turn on the TV again. Changes you made the last time
the TV was On before you used the SYSTEM RESET
button may be lost, however, the changes you made
previously are not lost.
POWER/TIMER Indicator
The green light is a multi-function indicator. This light
will flash rapidly for about one minute each time the TV
is plugged into the wall electrical outlet, when power
is restored after a power failure, or using the SYSTEM
RESET button. Do not attempt to turn on the TV again
during this period. Wait for the flashing to stop and
the light to turn off, before attempting to turn the TV
on. While the TV is powered on, the light illuminates
steadily. If the TV has been programmed to turn on
automatically using the Timer feature, this light will flash
slowly when the TV is powered off.
A/V RESET
There may be times when you wish to reset the A/V
(Audio and Video) settings back to the factory defaults.
To do this for an individual setting, use the Audio
or Video remote control button. To return all of the
settings at once, press GUIDE and FORMAT on the
front panel at the same time, or use the A/V Memory
Reset selection on the AudioVideo menu (page 68).

Use these jacks to connect the TV to external IEEE
1394 digital products by means of a single cable. There
are two jacks on the back panel for all models. For
WS-55615, WS-55615A, WS-65615, WS-65615A and
WS-73615 there is an additional jack on the front
panel. IEEE 1394 connections provide a high degree
of flexibility when connecting your NetCommand®
controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE
1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.
2. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)
ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both
digital/analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF
antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable
channels.
Your primary viewing signal source should be
connected to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be
used to view premium subscription cable TV service
authorized by the CableCARD TM access card. The
CableCARD access card is provided by your local
cable company. ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive
over-the-air or non-scrambled cable signals.
3. Digital Audio Output
This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio
from digital channels, IEEE 1394 devices and HDMI TM
(not DVI) signals to a digital Audio/Video receiver.
Connect this output to the A/V receiver's coaxial digital
audio input. This output will automatically turn off when
viewing an analog channel or device. Use Monitor
Ouput Audio 2 to send analog signals to your A/V
receiver.
Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio
instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers
can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause the
A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can damage
speakers. For this reason, the TV will automatically
turn off the digital audio output when tuned to a
channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital audio and
send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and right audio
from Monitor Output. You can enable the digital output
to include MPEG-1 digital audio if your A/V receiver
is capable of decoding it. See Edit NetCommand for
details.
4. CableCARD TM Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV
service provider is inserted into this slot. CableCARD
10
Back Panel, continued
is a nationwide standard system that allows your local
cable TV provider to supply you with an access card
customized to your account. This card allows the
TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium
digital channels included in your cable TV subscription
without the use of a cable box. It also allows your
cable provider to automatically update and change your
subscription. See pages 15, 25, and 44 for additional
CableCARD information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering
CableCARD, you will need to use an external cable box.
5. HDMF Mor DVI Devices
The HDMI TM interface supports uncompressed
standard, enhanced and high definition digital video
formats. This interface also supports existing digital
multi-channel audio formats. The HDMI input supports
both video and audio using one single cable. Use this
input to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant devices
such as a high definition receiver or DVD player. This
input supports the 480i, 480p and 1080i video formats.
It is not intended for use with personal computers
or devices outputting video signals with computer
resolutions.
This input can also be used as a DVI connection
with separate analog audio inputs (see DVI Analog
Audio, below). An optional HDMI-to-DVI adaptor will
be necessary to make this connection and can be
purchased from your local electronics retailer. When
using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI analog
audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left and
right audio from your DVI device.
This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
6. DVI Analog Audio
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on
the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs
when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs
DVl instead of HDMI.
7. Component Inputs 1-2
YPbPr(480i/480p/1080i)
These inputs can be used for the connection of devices
with component video outputs, such as a DVD player,
external HDTV receiver or compatible video game
system. Please see Appendix B for signal compatibility.
8. IR Output-NetCommand ®
Two jacks are provided for connecting IR emitters. IR
Emitters connected to these jacks are used by the
TV's NetCommand system to control external analog
devices such as VCRs, DVDs, cable boxes, satellite
and audio receivers.
9. Monitor Output (Audio/Video 1, Audio 2)
The Monitor Output sends the TV audio and video
signals from the antennas or Inputs 1-3 to an A/V
Receiver or other analog A/V equipment such as a
VCR. Digital channels and IEEE 1394 signals will be
down converted to analog signals compatible with
traditional analog VCRs. There will be no video signals
from digital channels or IEEE 1394 signals that have
copy restrictions. There will be no video signals from
Monitor Outputs when viewing the Component 1 & 2
inputs or the HDMI input
Monitor Output Audio/Video 1 should be connected to
a VCR for recording. Monitor Output Audio 2 should
be connected to your A/V Receiver for home theater
surround sound.
10. Inputs 1-2
These inputs can be used for the connection of a VCR,
Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR, DVD player, standard satellite
receiver or other A/V device to the TV. Please note
that if you connect to the S-VIDEO terminal, the VIDEO
terminal is deactivated. The VIDEO terminal is available
when there is no S-Video connection.
11. SERVICE PORT
This input is for use by Authorized Mitsubishi Servicers
only.

IMPORTAN NOTES
Warning: Do not leave stationary PIP/POP, or letterbox images on the screen
for extended periods of time. Mix the types of pictures shown.
Uneven picture tube aging is NOT covered by your warranty.
I
The normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most frequently used picture types
should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or patterns. Displaying the same
stationary patterns over extended periods of time or displaying the same stationary pattern frequently can leave
subtle but permanent ghost images. To avoid this, mix your viewing patterns. Reducing the initial contrast level can
help slow the aging process. Do not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in
any given week. Display constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible.
This projection TV uses picture tubes to project the image to the screen. All picture tubes age with use. As they age,
their light output is gradually reduced. Normal TV pictures fill the screen with constantly changing images. Under
these conditions, picture tubes age at an even rate across the entire screen. This maintains a TV picture that is
evenly bright over the whole screen. Stationary images or images that only partially fill the screen (leaving black
or colored bars to fill the screen), when used over extended periods of time or when viewed repeatedly, can cause
uneven aging of the phosphors and leave subtle ghosts from the stationary images in the picture.
Still or stationary images may be received from broadcasters, cable channels, satellite channels, DVD discs, video
tapes, laser discs, on-line services, web/Internet searching devices, video games, and digital TV tuner/converter
boxes.
Examples of these types of images can be, but are not limited to the following:
_q. Letterbox top/bottom black bars:
shown at the top and bottom of the TV screen when you watch a widescreen (16:9) movie on a standard (4:3) TV.
_q. Side bar images:
solid bars shown on each side of an image when watching a standard (4:3) program on a widescreen (16:9) TV.
_. News and stock-market report bars:
ticker running at the bottom of the TV screen.
_. Shopping channel Iogos & pricing displays:
bright graphics that are shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location.
_. Video game patterns and scoreboards
Bright station Iogos:
moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
_q. Online (Internet) websites:
or any other stationary or repetitive computer style images, including digital photos or computer applications/
programs.
_I. Closed Captioning
Mitsubishi recommends using a gray background rather than black or a bright color if you frequently use closed
captioning.

Connecting External Devices & NetCommand ®Setup
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and video devices by sending remote control signals from the
TV to each device through IR emitters. Additionally, it is able to learn the remote control signals used by most audio
video devices not already in the TV's memory. NetCommand can automatically switch the TV along with compatible
or learned Audio/Video (A/V) Receivers to the correct input for use with each device. It is important that the inputs
on the TV and A/V Receiver back panel match the NetCommand setup that is displayed on-screen.
To simplify the installation of NetCommand, there is a step-by-step on-screen NetCommand setup procedure in this
chapter, which details the type and brand of devices you are connecting to the TV. The NetCommand Setup also
assigns preset TV and A/V Receiver inputs for each device. You should connect each device to the TV input (both
audio and video) and to the A/V Receiver (audio) as shown in the figure below.
